Default Thinking of getting headers.

I am thinking of putting LTs on my car now. I know that I need the headers and a Y pipe.. Other wise I wanted to keep all my other stock piping.. will this be a problem?

Do you have the Dual Cat exhaust, or single cat?

The new headers & Y pipe will replace the old ones, but they should still line up with the factory Cat.

Ask members on here with LT's that own a car like you what the deal was, thats where you will get your best answer.

if you were thinking of pacesetters (my personal recommendation) their Y-pipe fits directly up to the stock system.. although I'd highly recommend upgrading to 3" piping.

putting LTs on and a Y-Pipe should not pose a problem. Go for it!
